Quest 263

HER MAJESTY QUEEN ROSELLA
Daughter of Graham and Valanice
~

Death came while she slept
To serenely dispatch her;
He'd tried while she waked
But he never could catch her.

[OOC: Funnily enough, ridiculous epitaphs are a part of King's Quest canon; graveyards are rare in Daventry (mostly because people tend to turn into zombies upon being buried in them, erk), but they do exist, and the stuff on the headstones is almost always humorous, ironic, or tongue-in-cheek in some way. Go figure. Anyway, thanks to the zombie thing, I doubt they'd actually bury Rosella, but I bet she'd get a memorial similar to this.]

I've never given it much thought, honestly. It's not as though graveyards are very common, anyway, so it's hardly something to ponder over. At least not at home.

Do you cremate people?

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Well, it depends. Sometimes we have a pyre for them, yes. Usually it depends on whether or not there's a body left at all.

What, are they eaten or something?

That happens in Narnia far more often than one would imagine.

Sometimes, yes. If they were caught by an ogre or a wolf or a troll. Or if they were to perish in a desert, perhaps, or drown at sea. There are quite a lot of different ways I can think of, honestly.
